Review: Throughout this concert, the elements of Montgomery’s creative process are familiar: the long strands of definitive single notes followed by his signature octaves; the calls and responses within his own solos; the riveting block chords. But he is in a special zone of fervor on this night. His octaves become engines of overwhelming momentum. Mabern is also a surprise. He is the only player here who is still living, a respected elder statesman of mainstream postbop piano. In Paris proves that when he was 29 he was a monster. Johnny Griffith sits in on sax on tracks 7-9.
